When you think of finishing a piece of artwork, what comes to mind? For many artists, framing is the final step; the last touch of polish before it is presented to the world. They use framing as a way to present themselves in a more professional manner and to increase the value of their artwork.

Framing “the Opus way” with the Custom DIY Framing Service is a fantastic option for many artists. The hands-on aspect of creating their art extends to selecting the framing package that

will further enhance their vision. They select the visual elements, Opus custom makes the frame shell and accompanying pieces to their specifications, and the artist completes the cycle by putting it all together. With this self-direct style of custom framing, you can cut the cost by about half of what you would pay for full-service framing.

With endless ways to choose a frame, many people find it most effective to place frame corner samples with the artwork.

This way, you can be sure if the frame is too much, or too understated and, if you are using the artwork as a reference, it’s often clear when there is a winner amongst the choices – the colours pop, the image stands out, or the artwork, in some way, comes to life when you find “just the right thing”. Frame your artwork in a way that displays it to its full potential–it’s all about presentation. People can see quality.
